About this role

The posting calls this the most senior individual contributor role in Sarvam's field engineering function, and the technical surface is unusual. Sarvam is putting its own language models onto devices rather than into a datacentre, which means working at the silicon level with NPUs and small language models, embedded with partners including Qualcomm, Intel, HP, Apple and NVIDIA. You own the technical relationship with the most strategic enterprise accounts, from architecture through deployment and escalation, and you are the highest technical escalation point in the field for problems no other engineer can resolve. Alongside that sits real building: enterprise fleet automation in Python and PowerShell covering provisioning, monitoring, diagnostics and remediation at scale, plus cross OEM interoperability work.

Who this is for

What the posting requires: significant experience in field engineering, solution architecture or enterprise platform deployment, with a track record owning senior technical relationships. Deep expertise in enterprise fleet automation, specifically Python and PowerShell scripting at production scale across provisioning, diagnostics and remediation. Advanced proficiency with Intune, SCCM and enterprise MDM architecture. Experience with cross OEM hardware interoperability and platform level troubleshooting.

The day to day: owning the technical relationship with strategic enterprise accounts from architecture through deployment and ongoing platform health; leading solution architecture for on device AI on AI-PC platforms including NPU offload design and SLM configuration; owning end to end escalation delivery for the most complex platform, firmware and fleet issues; building fleet automation frameworks; driving cross OEM interoperability directly with hardware partners; defining deployment architecture standards and runbooks; acting as the field to product conduit; leading technical presales including architecture reviews, proof of concept design and executive level presentations; and mentoring other forward deployed engineers.

Location and office reality: Bengaluru.

⚠️ Years of experience: Sarvam publishes no figure. The Principal title and the description of it as the most senior IC seat in the function are the only level signals. We write no number rather than guessing, so it will not appear under an experience filter.

Who this is for: a field or platform engineer with genuine Windows endpoint management depth, Intune and SCCM specifically, who wants that skill applied to on device AI rather than corporate IT. The presales element is real, so expect executive conversations alongside the debugging. It is a demanding, autonomous seat and the posting does not pretend otherwise.
